My dentist has repeatedly said flossing is for your gums, not your teeth.
- lobster_johnson 14y agoThis is confirmed by my dental surgeon. (I had a minor graft to fix the receding gum above one of my canines.) Plaque is something you need to remove with the toothbrush, by massaging the area where the gum wraps around the teeth. On the other hand, my surgeon doesn't believe in mouthwash and says it's a waste of money.
